Strengths:    Good manners, handling, brakes, gears...and beautiful colors as well!

Weaknesses:    A little on the heavy side.

Bottom Line:

The Giant Innova makes a wonderful companion, since even though it isn't in the light side of hybrids, it's manners are absolutely immaculate, soft shifting, quick acceleration, good handling -well, maybe a bit nervous when you transit among people and other riders, but you get used to-, a makes the perfect bike for the recreational rider and even for the enthusiast if you accept it's weight well over 28 lbs.
Recommend it!

Strengths:
Al frame, suspension fork, decent components only $360, excellent seat that doesnt wiggle like many suspension posts

Weaknesses:
no clips gears good, but not top notch

Bottom Line:

bought sight-unseen because I liked the suspension fork on the more expensive eddie bauer. The innova is an excellent value, but hard to find. thus far, very pleased with my decision.
